Sponges Sponges are a diverse group of common types, with about 5000 species known across the world. Sponges are primarily marine, but around 150 species live in fresh water. Sponges have cellular-level organization, meaning that that their cells are specialized so that different cells perform different functions. This is the simplest kind of cellular organization found among parazoans.
2
sponges include a system of pores (also called ostia) and canals, through which water passes.
3
Asconoid Example: Leucosolenia
*Sponges have three different types of body plans Asconoid sponges are shaped like a simple tube perforated by pores. The open internal part of the tube is called the spongocoel. There is a single opening to the outside, the osculum. Example: Leucosolenia Classification Phylum : Porifera Class : Calcarea Order : Homocoela Genus : Leucosolenia
5
Syconoid Phylum: Porifera Class : Calcarea Order : Heterocoe
Synconoid sponges tend to be larger than Asconoids. The Synconoid body wall is thicker. Example: Sycon Classification Phylum: Porifera Class : Calcarea Order : Heterocoe Genus : Sycon
7
Leuconoid These are the largest and most complex sponges.
Example: Euspongia Classification Phylum: Porifera Class : Demosongia Order : Keratosa Genus : Euspongia Euspongia is the common bath sponge. It is a deep sea form and is found in the Mediterranean Sea. It is like a cup and the skeleton is made of sponging fibres.
9
Hydra can be white brown or green.
Classification: Phylum: Coelentrata Class : Hydrozoa Order : Diploblastica Genus : Hydra Hydra can be white brown or green. Hydra have a saclike body and a circle of tentacles at around the body opening.
10
This opening is used for both taking in food and eliminating wastes.
Hydra don't have eyes but they can sense light They will also reproduce easily. Hydra are carnivorous and will eat anything they can manage to catch including single celled animals, small crustaceans, worms, insects, and other tiny animals
